It was our Anniversary Weekend. A beautiful dinner reservation was made for us and our close friends at the Rusty Pelican at Key Biscayne. It was very romantic. Right on the bay. The view was georgeous.Then we went for dessert at the Cheesecake Factory in Coconut Grove. I must say Judith really know how to plan a great occasion. I have been to weddings and birthday parties that she has planned and they are very unique and georgeous. She is a great planner. She works very hard and she is very detailed.

My event was my 50th surprise birthday party planned by Ray-J Wedding & Events. It was a wonderful surprise with family and friends present. The vendor provided the right atmosphere, the finger foods was delicious accompanied by cupcakes that were to die for. I couldn't have been happier.

The service provided by Ray-J Weddings and Event Planning was FABULOUS! The attention to detail that was provided was superb, they left no stone unturned from assisting with reviewing and negotiating vendor contracts to the very minuet details of the wedding reception. The necessities of planning a first time Brides “Dream Wedding” – can take months of preparation and can require the assistance of many, or just the right wedding planning Team! Ray and Judith, of Ray J- Weddings and Event Planning are a dynamic duo, with professionalism and class. Their synergy of working together is exemplary. The Groomsmen were accompanied on shopping trips in order to coordinate their wedding attire. The use of technology in order to submit information, pictures, programs, spreadsheets, etc. to stay in constant communication was utilized and welcomed – in order to make the Big Day possible. What is even more amazing is that all of this was accomplished and the Groom and I live over 300 miles away, and we felt as if they were right there. Our Wedding Planners even added a personal touch, and took the time to introduce themselves and establish a rapport with the entire wedding party and our vendors. Ray-J Weddings show a genuine concern for the Bride and Groom and ensures that they enjoy their journey to the Wedding Day as stress free as possible. What a blessing they were to my new husband and I!

They are impeccable. They not only envision the needs of the bride but ALSO the groom, which is very important. My event was planned and executed to the last minute, with no stone unturned. I thank them for making my day, not only the way I wanted it, but error free (to my knowledge)..

I contacted Ray-J Wedding and Events late in the game (2 months before my Wedding). I had already selected a Venue and the Church for my Wedding. I had a vision and Ray-J made it realistic for me. I thought I could handle this on my own but as my date came near it began to get overwhelming. I was given ideas to compliment and complete my vision and relieved to help and attention that I felt I deserved. Thank You Ray-J Wedding and Events!
